<p>I really like this quote from Mr. Card of Forrester: “If it weren’t for Apple, God knows how bad the music industry would be,”.</p>
<p>I guess it&#8217;s called evolution. The main questions is, what would it take for Apple to become a &#8220;label&#8221; just like MySpace?</p>
<p>They could have their cake and eat it too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you probably all know, there is this issue about wedding involving a rich guy and a cute girl (it&#8217;s always like that isn&#8217;t it?).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny because there is a gag order ordered by the court. This mean that no media in Quebec (or Canada?) can disclose the identity of those two persons.</p>
<p>Now I don&#8217;t mind about the issue. It&#8217;s their own personnal issue and if they need to go to court to fix it then fine. Let&#8217;s leave them alone for a bit. The real problem is freedom of press and accessibility to information. How can a gag order be enforced in this Internet era? Impossible. Why bother attacking freedom of the press in this case? Do you really think that the photographs and people at the court kept quiet and never told anyone? Come on&#8230;</p>
<p>If people want to know who they are, they just need to hit Google and in less than a few seconds, all the information will be available from sites outside of the jurisdiction. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s pathetic to even try to block information. Censorship is futile.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were a <a href="http://vanb.typepad.com/versac/2007/09/pourquoi-le-blo.html" target="_blank">couple</a> of <a href="http://blog.fagstein.com/2007/09/27/journalist-blogs-arent-pointless/" target="_blank">posts</a> regarding whether blogs as being pointless or not. Mainly that blogs become too personal and have little value added once the journalist has done his work.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that blogs (not in the current form though) will take over newspapers so I think blogs are useful. I don’t even see the point of having big newspapers or media companies other than to allow journalists to receive a salary. With a decent blog business model, good journalists will flea their workplace and go digital. Good people get noticed. Some (most?) bloggers are not journalists yet they manage to attract a lot of people. Bad journalists will have to look for other jobs.</p>
<p>Me? I don’t have time to read the newspaper or watch the news. That being said, I think that the current “blog platform” is not efficient for news coverage. I want focused, localised content. I can’t have this right now but that’s something I’m working on slowly (<a href="http://www.yulnews.com/" target="_blank">shameless plug</a>).</p>
<p>We’ve seen it with YouTube and Joost: big companies are starting to be nervous and <a href="http://blog.fagstein.com/2007/09/27/national-post-redesign/" target="_blank">updating your front page</a> is simply not enough to survive… I know I will be telling my grand kids that “in the old days” we used to be reading our news on a piece of paper that they printed during the night which was then delivered by a paperboy. Wow, I get excited. I will have so many neat things to tell my grand kids after all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attention attention, petit &#8220;<em>rant</em>&#8221; ce matin. Je suis fÃ¢chÃ© donc prÃ©parez-vous Ã  fermer vos yeux. Bon, ce n&#8217;est plus un secret, <a href="http://technaute.lapresseaffaires.com/nouvelles/texte_complet.php?id=81,12399,0,082007,1374692.html&amp;ref=top_short" target="_blank">Videotron a dÃ©cidÃ© de modifier son plan illimitÃ©</a> pour le limiter Ã  100GB par mois. OÃ¹ est la logique? Je ne sais pas encore.</p>
<p>Reculons il y a au moins une dÃ©cennie&#8230; Il fut un temps oÃ¹ la plupart des services Ã©taient &#8220;limitÃ©s&#8221;. Il ne suffit qu&#8217;Ã  se rappeler des bons moments avec la tÃ©lÃ©phonie classique (c&#8217;est Ã  dire le bon vieux Bell Canada). Vous vouliez faire un appel longue distance? Pas de problÃ¨me! Bof, il y avait des plages ou certains rabais s&#8217;appliquait, et d&#8217;autres oÃ¹ il n&#8217;y avait pas de rabais. C&#8217;Ã©tais donc moins cher aprÃ¨s 18h00 et encore moins cher aprÃ¨s 21h00. Ca vous rappelle quelque chose? Si non, c&#8217;est que vous Ãªtes trop jeune pour vous en rappeler. Il fallait aussi payer Ã  la minute. AprÃ¨s quelques annÃ©es, probablement Ã  cause de la vague des buffets Ã  volontÃ© et autres trucs illimitÃ©s, est venu la concurrence avec des concepts tÃ©lÃ©phoniques illimitÃ©s. Wow, quel concept incroyable! Est-ce que ma compagnie de cÃ¢ble m&#8217;interdit de regarder la TV aprÃ¨s que mon quota soit atteint ou est-ce qu&#8217;elle m&#8217;empÃªche de regarder la TV en plein jour sous peine d&#8217;augmenter ma facture mensuelle?<em> I don&#8217;t think so</em>. Ce n&#8217;est mÃªme pas imaginable..! Bref, nous vivons dans un monde illimitÃ© ou tout ce qui n&#8217;Ã©tait pas illimitÃ© le devient. Les cellulaires, les locations vidÃ©o (pensez Netflix et Zip), les cartes d&#8217;autobus, le gym, les buffets, etc etc.</p>
<p>DeuxiÃ¨me problÃ¨me. L&#8217;internet ne fait qu&#8217;Ã©voluer et ca ne va pas en diminuant. Je me souviens trÃ¨s bien de mon premier PC (80286) qui n&#8217;avait qu&#8217;un disque dur de 40M et qui avait peine Ã  faire jouer un vidÃ©o en 16 couleurs en mode 320&#215;160. Maintenant, ma fille de 6 ans passe ses journÃ©es Ã  faire &#8220;<em>streamer</em>&#8221; des vidÃ©os de Dora et Caillou en plein Ã©cran. On parle donc de vidÃ©os en ligne, de TV sur l&#8217;Internet (Joost et sa gang) etc etc. Bref, nous ne regardons presque plus la TV sauf pour regarder des DVD puisque tous ce que nous avons de besoin est maintenant en ligne. La BBC parle de TV en ligne. MÃªme notre propre Videotron a des reprises de LCN en ligne. Ok c&#8217;est plutÃ´t pathÃ©tique mais c&#8217;est un dÃ©but. Bref, attachez-vos tuques, &#8220;la bandwidth&#8221;, on va&#8217;n'avoir besoin. Ce mÃªme matin, <a href="http://slashdot.org/articles/07/08/19/133241.shtml">un article sur Slashdot</a> qui parle d&#8217;explosion de bande passante Ã  cause de la TV sur l&#8217;Internet. Autre exemple typique. La radio. Je n&#8217;ai mÃªme pas de radio chez moi. Non c&#8217;est un mensonge. Il y a une radio sur mon cinÃ©ma maison mais je ne m&#8217;en sers jamais. Quand l&#8217;Ã©coute la radio, c&#8217;est sur le <em>net</em> et c&#8217;est souvent des trucs d&#8217;un peu partout. Des radios collÃ©giales amÃ©ricaines, des radios locales d&#8217;Hawaii, etc. Bref, ma fille n&#8217;a jamais utilisÃ©e une radio mais elle sais comment aller Ã©couter les trucs sur l&#8217;Internet. Je pense que le message est clair: Nous sommes la gÃ©nÃ©ration media-Internet.</p>
<p>La rÃ©ponse de Videotron devrait Ãªtre: &#8220;Doublons gratuitement la bande passante pour tous les abonnÃ©s!&#8221; mais au contraire on se retrouve avec un message sauvage du type: &#8220;Coupons  les valves!! Pis sa presse!!&#8221;. Pas le temps d&#8217;attendre Ã  la fin du contrat, <em>no way</em>! On ferme tout ca drette-la Ã  part ca. Comme ca, on ne risque pas de pÃ©ter notre rÃ©seau avec ces ti-casse qui tÃ©lÃ©chargent des trucs. Phew, on est &#8220;<em>safe</em>&#8220;. OÃ¹ est l&#8217;innovation dans tout ca?</p>
<p>Oui oui, je sais, 100G c&#8217;est beaucoup. Peut-Ãªtre que certains gens abusent. Peut-Ãªtre que certains gens piratent. Peut-Ãªtre que 100G semble Ã©norme, tout comme mon premier disque dur de 40M l&#8217;Ã©tait, mais lÃ  n&#8217;est pas la question. Dans 5 ans, il sera ridicule de penser que l&#8217;Internet Ã©tait limitÃ© Ã  100G par mois. C&#8217;est une question de principe et de direction future (voir exemple Bell Canada ci-haut). Videotron se (et nous) tire une balle dans le pied en bloquant l&#8217;accessibilitÃ© illimitÃ©. Qu&#8217;est-ce qui se passera dÃ¨s que le premier club vidÃ©o en haute dÃ©finition sera sur l&#8217;Internet? Et croyez-moi, c&#8217;est Ã  veille d&#8217;arriver en considÃ©rant les expÃ©riences de Netflix aux USA (<strong>Voir update plus bas</strong>). Avec des fichiers beaucoup plus grands, cette limite sera atteinte trop rapidement. Quelle sera la rÃ©ponse de Videotron alors? Un nouveau forfait Ã  500GB, <em>I bet ya</em>, mais Ã©videmment, pour un autre 20$ ou 30$ de plus&#8230;!</p>
<p>Bref, si Videotron ne se rÃ©veille pas, il sera trop tard et ils seront le futur Bell. Trop vieux pour s&#8217;adapter Ã  la clientÃ¨le jeune. Les dinosaures doivent mourir et je profite de l&#8217;occasion pour faire de la publicitÃ© pour d&#8217;autres compagnies (dont je n&#8217;ai pas testÃ© leur services par contre).</p>
<ul>
<li>Colba.net qui offre un service ADSL2 jusqu&#8217;Ã  24Mbps sans limite.</li>
<li>Et surprise (je ne m&#8217;y attendait vraiment pas), Bell avec son Ã©quipe de castors qui offre son service sur fibre optique (16Mbps) Ã  80$ par mois mais Ã  20$ pour les 6 premiers mois. Cela fait donc 50$ par mois ce qui est moins cher que le service &#8220;formely known as illimitÃ©&#8221; de Videotron (qui est Ã  65$)</li>
</ul>
<p>AprÃ¨s un an, peut-Ãªtre que Videotron s&#8217;aura remis de l&#8217;exode et offrira un service intÃ©ressant.<br />
PS: Message Ã  tous les fournisseurs de service Internet: allez voir les tarifs en Asie. Pourquoi paie-t-on aussi cher pour aussi peu? <em>God knows</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Update (08/21)</strong></p>
<p>Adobe lance un nouveau produit  pour faire le &#8220;<em>streaming</em>&#8221; de vidÃ©os en HD. On s&#8217;en doutait bien tous que cela allait se passer&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time has come to talk about my latest startup. I know I dropped some hints here and there but today is the day where I want to come clean, sort of speaking. I plan to launch a new site named <a href="http://www.yulnews.com" target="_blank">YulNews </a>and while the final details are still &#8220;secret&#8221;, I can say that it will change the way people know about what&#8217;s going on around them.</p>
<p>I should also mention that this site has no affiliation with yulbuzz, yulstart or yulbiz. I just like the fact that &#8220;yul&#8221; means Montreal (as in airport code) and &#8220;You will&#8221; at the same time. More on that later but I guess I already gave enough hints so far&#8230;</p>
